No Member or Associate may represent that its services are commission free without prominently disclosing how it is compensated in near proximity to that representation.

Members and Associates may not solicit customers based on the leverage available unless they balance any discussion regarding the advantages of leverage with an equally prominent contemporaneous disclosure that increasing leverage increases risk.
